The Right Image for Your Business
Presented by: David Morphew of David Morphew Photography
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and both the trade press and consumer magazines use hundreds if not thousands of images in every issue. And while journalists and PR companies can spend hours to produce the perfect turn of phrase, it’s a stunning image that can make readers stop and look at the page. And this doesn’t just apply to print, a great website will also use compelling images to attract visitors to stay on the page while avoiding the trap of taking ages to load.
In a brief talk, David will introduce you to some sources of imagery that you may not have thought of and give you some tips to improve your own photographs.

Shape Up For Business
Presented by: Anna Mason of Distance Dieters
If you’re fit, you’ll work more effectively and also have more confidence and verve in the workplace. Busy professional and business people easily neglect their health under the stresses and strains of work. Too much sitting at the desk or behind the wheel, snacking and a diet of sandwiches and coke can mean the scales creep up and we suffer slumps in energy during the day. In “Shape Up For Business” Anna shows how to get fitter to do effective business and how to eat for energy and vitality, using all the skills you use at work to manage your health, weight and wellbeing.
Anna is a life coach and personal trainer based in Warwickshire.
